What a neat shot! A fun attraction for summer play.
Very nice shot of the whale reflected in the water. I have stopped there to take pictures a couple of times and it was deserted. Is it still available for swimming? I think it used to be part of an amusement park there back in the day.
most excellent reflection
Love that whale and what a great reflection for the day! Great start for my weekend!! And I hope your weekend is terrific!
Superb reflection!
Love the imagination of the whale maker!
What a fun shot and with reflections …. even better.
A great reflection. Bet it would be fun to slide out from inside that whale!
That blue whale is very impressive ! Did you feel like Jonas, once inside ? 😉
Have a lovely first 2013 week-end.
